Průhonice park
Průhonice Park and Castle is a National Cultural Monument and is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The main season in Průhonice Park begins

The magnolias are in full bloom and this means that the main visitor season in Průhonice Park has begun. Thousands of rhododendrons are yet to flood the park with their colors, but visitors can already enjoy the spring flowers of Alpina and the first results of the park’s restoration work. In connection with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of Botany, which manages the Průhonický Park, the public will also enjoy an extended program of events this year.

This season, visitors can enjoy their walks even more with a new guide to the deciduous trees in the park and the SMS information service.

For more information about our events see CALENDAR.
